Living With My Friend's Brother [BxB] ✓

Chapter 22

Brett's POV

I have started to feel Noah slowly drifting away and I don't think he is as interested in me as he used to be. I wasn't very happy about it but I can't force him to stay together with me if he doesn't want to. Still, it hurts a little that he priorities me this little.

At the same time, I don't really want to bother him as it seems like he's going through something. I just wish he would let me help him through whatever it is. He doesn't even tell me what he feels, so how sure can I be that he wants to be with me or not anymore.

Noah had already left our flat, not telling me where he was headed. It's been like this for a while. It annoys me a little, but I don't want to confront him about it either. I truly don't understand what is going on, my mind doesn't understand anything anymore.

After a long time of thinking about the situation, I took my phone to call papa for some advice. ''Hi honey, how are you?'' he said as he answered my call.

''Hi papa, I'm ok I guess,'' I answered, not really sure about my own answer.

''Really, you don't sound that great'' papa said and I heard by his tone that he was worried.

It took me a moment to think about what I should tell him. ''Well, honestly things between me and Noah have been a little awkward lately. I feel like it began not too long after our trip to Paris'' 

''Did something happen between you guys?'' papa asked.

''I had an incredible time and it seems like Noah did too. I kinda feel we started some type of relationship there, therefore the whole situation confuses me. I don't know what has happened for Noah to keep his distance from me.''

It was quiet for a moment. Papa was probably thinking about what to say next. ''I guess I was wrong, I don't think Noah is as interested in a relationship as I am,'' I told papa, feeling defeated just thinking about giving up on Noah.

''Brett, I think you should do something to take your mind off him for a while, it seems like he needs some space. When he's ready to tell you what is going on, then you will just make sure you'll be ready to listen'' papa told me and I could tell he was trying to cheer me up a little, but it's been hard recently.

''Thanks, papa. I guess I'll give it a shot'' I replied before we hung up and I laid down on the sofa and took a nap after some more thinking.

Noah's POV

I took up my vibrating phone to check it. I had gotten another mean and threatening message from an unknown number once again. This had been happening to me for so long now. I can't really deal with it anymore, I thought to myself as I was about to through my phone away. But I stopped, remembering that I'm a broke student that can't afford to act like I'm in so type of drama with a big ass budget to get a new phone. 

Not only did these girls ruin my relationship with Brett, but they also had started to ruin my friendship with Elliot. 

Yesterday, I had just been hanging out with Valerie, not inviting Elliot. Not including him was unfortunately intentional. Ever since I had started to keep my distance from Brett, Elliot had started to advise me to talk to him, which is exactly what I'm trying to ignore doing. Therefore I tried to not hang out with him as much anymore because he honestly made good points for me to talk to Brett, but I just can't. Not now.

This whole situation is so messed up and I know I am the reason for it. I don't like it, but I don't know what to do to fix it without it ending in my being tortured by some crazy ex-girlfriend who wants me gone.
